Version 1.8 brings the app up to date with Apple's current App Preview requirements, adds letterbox colors and Shortcuts support, and fixes a long list of bugs. UPDATED FOR TODAY'S APP PREVIEW SPECS • Device options now match the six sizes accepted by App Store Connect, including Apple Vision Pro (3840×2160). • iPhone 6.9"/6.5" covers every Face ID and Dynamic Island iPhone. iPad 13"/12.9" also covers 11" and 10.5" iPads. iPhone 5.5"/4", Apple TV, and Mac now share one 1920×1080 file. • Hover over a device to see exactly which devices and pixel sizes it covers. • Audio is now 256 kbps AAC, and videos with multiple audio tracks are mixed into the single stereo track Apple expects. NEW • Letterbox color: by default, the bars match the colors at the edges of your video, or you can choose your own. • Open the output folder when done: Finder shows your new previews as soon as a batch finishes. You can turn this off. • Shortcuts: a new "Convert to App Previews" action converts a video for the devices you choose, with an optional start time and duration. • A new app icon. FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS • Fixed a thin black line along one edge of videos recorded on some recent iPhones. Letterboxed video is now centered exactly, and videos that are almost the right shape fill the frame. • Portrait videos stored with a rotation now come out right-side up and at the correct size. • Faster conversions, especially when you select multiple devices. • Colors stay consistent, including for Display P3 recordings. • Smoother motion when the source recording has dropped frames. • Canceling no longer slows the app down afterward, and starting again right away works properly. • Failed or canceled conversions no longer leave partially finished files in your output folder. • An encoding error now shows a message instead of closing the app. • Your video and output folder locations are remembered reliably. • Select Video now selects a single file, not folders. • The window remembers its size. • Requires macOS 14 or later.
